It is easy to overload any engine (pulling in to high a gear is common).
A handy gadget to watch this is a vacumm gauge. Sometimes called a motorminder, to help use less gasoline.
When I put one of these on the B in fifty's or very early sixty's I discovered we had been overloading it since it was new. Pulling a 2-12 plow in heavy clay, should have used a 1-16.
I was pulling a 13-7 wheat drill in third and overheating, raised the furrow openers a little and the readings went from 5-7 to 10 no more heating. ( got a lot better stand also--- not planted as deep)
All engines don't seem to heat at the same readings. It might be the gauges are not same.
They haven't been tested but the important thing is your experience with your engine.
I have one on my pickup,pull a large stock trailer. Sometimes I pull a load faster than I can pull empty into the wind. Loaded in to the wind is tough, (slow).
